Back when Adelaide had the Australian F1 Grand Prix, Adelaide's was the last race of the season, preceded by Japan. As a result JAL Cargo's 747s used to bring in and take away the F1 cars. The aircraft shown here had unloaded the cars and was being prepared for departure. For those interested, Thiery Boutson won the race which was held in extremely wet conditions and the late Ayrton Senna crashed on lap 13 barely able to see the car in front of him.
